Nooo...Jane Austen is turning in her grave!

Buffy and Angel forever and ever

I have never liked the rise in the use of colour to define race - it’s like we have now come full circle. I was actually referencing the comment in the article about brown people and terrorism, but I completely take your point. I have always been slightly amused by how the Middle East generally don’t want to be…

Wow! It sounds like a pile of garbage. There are so many things this show could focus on - particularly around the dehumanization of refugees. ‘They have blood in their veins and they cry when in pain.’ Instead the focus (based on this article) seems to be on perpetuating Islamophobia and colouring the entire brown…

Poor Baby Yoda! I wonder how they tasted. Maybe he’s planning to lay them.

Umbrella Academy Season 3

I watched Heartburn for the first time a couple of years ago. It was really hard to think of all she endured and then she goes onto write such beautiful romances. 

I agree. Amy Adams is beautiful and I thought her performance in Enchanted was extraordinary. She brought so much wonder and grace to the role. I think she gave a stronger performance than Emma Stone in La La Land. Maybe I feel that way because I didn’t enjoy the ending of La La Land and Emma’s singing was a little…

I loved it. Lily Collins is gorgeous and it was a dreamy feel good watch. The French actress who plays Sylvie is stunning!

Poor Britney! She’s so lucky, she’s a star...but she cry-cry-cries in her lonely heart.

Too much heat for inaccurate depictions generally puts people off trying to tell the story. And then we have the overzealous cry for representation - there must be a balance. I really like the unapologetic depiction of poverty in the remote village, the easy belief in the awesome force of nature and deep superstition…

Interesting. That is actually not entirely true. The thuggees are a Hindu cult that revered some of the darker characteristics of Samhara Kali (Goddess of Destruction), one of the 10 tantric Hindu Goddesses. She is a truly fearsome Goddess. She is the darkest of them all and from a darkness deeper than night her world…

I love You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle. They always come out around this time of year as part of my holiday movie arsenal. Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but there’s just something charming and endearing about them. Glad to see Scent of a Woman on the list - Hoo Ah!

I am looking forward to Aunt Gertrude - she was always quick witted with some hilarious one-liners. Pretty sure she was only 40, but was written as a geriatric spinster. And good old ‘chubby’ Chet. 

Wow! That trailer is a snoozefest. I have loved Melissa McCarthy since her Sookie days on Gilmore Girls. But I am not a fan of the the crass OTT vulgar comedy trap she sometimes falls into. Am I the only one who hated Bridesmaids...ok, I guess I am. She was brilliant in Spy and Can you ever forgive me. Shame this one…

How is Grey’s not over yet? I watched it when it first came out, while I was in medical school! Sadly real life medicine wasn’t quite so ridiculously dramatic, or filled with McDreamies and McSteamies - or maybe thankfully not. Started to go off the show once they started killing off most of the original cast members…

Nothing like 80s nostalgia to escape the madness of the world. Impressed she coped with Beetlejuice. I watched the movie and the animated series as a kid - so disturbing and macabre. Don’t think I have the stomach to re-watch them ever again.

LOL! Surprised she didn’t catch a cold. Katy Louise Saunders is gorgeous but I always find it interesting that we push forth female empowerment hand in hand with objectification. The two concepts seem so diametrically opposed.

Hope your girlfriend’s daughter enjoyed it? I watched Temple of Doom for the first time in my 20s, it was pretty gory. Had to chuckle at the ‘Indian’ villagers speaking a language that has never been spoken in India. I really appreciated the fact that it was set in South Asia and not the Far East - a personal bias as…

This was my first Indiana Jones movie. Yes, I had been living under a rock until then. I was dragged to the cinema by a good friend and came out wondering why Indiana Jones was so popular. It was meh...and the crystal skull looked like a modified cast of Alien’s head. It didn’t put me off watching the other three so…
